My little Daniyal turns six On Aug 24th. He is really like a miniature 'adult'. Gone are the days when he's the screaming little preschooler ....he's going to be in grade 1 next year!
Title: How to Make your Preschooler Smarter
Article:
Nothing promotes development and learning in the first five
years of a child's life like play! Child development specialists
and psychologists recognize this fact and actually use play to
determine a child's level of cognitive functioning- they can
tell how smart your child is by watching her play. This simply
means that if you want your child to be smarter, play with her!
DaycareCanada.com wants your child to be smart too- here are a
couple helpful hints and incentives to make the most of your
parent-preschooler playtime!
Social Role Playing: From Scooby-Doo to Jacob Two-Two
If you are the parent or child care provider of a preschool aged
child there is a good chance that you've engaged in enough
fantasy play or pretend play to last a lifetime. With each new
role assigned to you by your 3-5 year old comes a custom-made
script based on an accumulation of her cultural and social
experiences. The story you play out is usually based on the
things she has seen on TV, read in books, heard in songs, and
gleaned from watching adults interact- all highlighted by her
imagination.
Guided Participation: Wait a Second...Jimmy is Smarter than
Me!
As parents and caregivers guide these playful interactions and
collaborate with children in fun problem-solving activities
children learn to adapt their understanding to new situations,
develop analytical skills, and will eventually achieve mastery.
You will be pleased to know that these simple supported
interactions will enhance developmental change in your child and
your child will be able to do more things better! So maybe it's
not so bad to play doctor when you could very well be laying the
foundation for your child to become one!
So offer suggestions, provide insights, and encourage your
child's mind and abilities to stretch as you play! For more
playful ideas that promote development and learning in your
child's first five years, check out the parenting resource
